Hello, i am quite a young person as well as an airsofter, and modern AEGs dont excite me anymore. I am quite keen on world war 2 and would like to look into buying an AEG. Uniform is no problem for me as i am on a personal basis with some suppliers.
However, there is one problem, i do not want to buy a Thompson. I cannot explain why lol
Please give me some advise, also i am still in 'teens so my budget is not limited, but not massive.
Welcome to the forum Joshy from a fellow young person!
Are you thinking German, Brit or US? Brit? Take a look at the sales section - Sten is up for sale!
well i was looking more towards Uk, would you say the sten is a good gun, does it take thompson mags?
I'll let Oldsweat (the owner) fill you in but the mag is fixed and acts as a bb resevoir - you refill through the ejection port. The gun is made by Warren from Shoot 'n Scoot (who has a section under 'Retailers' at the bottom of this forum.
BTW - just a few places for Brits left on the upcoming Arhnem game!
ok thanks alot, although i have exams coming up and the rugby season isnt over so i may not be able to go.
If i were you I would buy an MP40, Nice and cheep if you are on a budget, and if you dont take to ww2 airsofting you havnt spent lots of money on a specific period gun.
ok thanks for the advice
Plus the Mp40 can also be used for Russian kits

The Sten is a lovely gun , and one of only a few custom ones made . sadly mine is sold now , but Warren ta Shoot and Scoot will gladly make you one . They are not cheap however , and you could get four MP40s for the price of a Sten !
haha my friend just suggested duel wielding mp40s

I got One coming at Phoenix, so how many do you rekkon he's made to date old'y?
You can ask him , but I believe mine is Number 7 and Yiths number 8, that'll make yours Number 9 I'm guessing !
Clint eastwood dual used mp40s in where eagles dare (my fave ever film)
but he had one on a sling and the other in a hand, even shooting blanks they were all over the place,
plus the AGM mp 40 is mostly metal (cheap metal) but it weighs a fair bit (but nowhere near the real steel) dual use would be possible in a room, but useless at any range over 20m.

What sort of AEG do you have that isn't useless at over 20m?
CA M16, APS, VSR, Cheepsoft sniper, but they all have to go because they aint WW2. Bah
Edit= They may be s**t hot over 20m but I am not the best Airsoft sniper
